    If there was ANY doubt in Mike's mind that we need to get reinforcements in for the second half of the season.... there shouldn't be now.

    That's my positive.

    We may end up spending some 'real money' (i.e. cash we haven't generated from player sales)......

    Any money we spend now, is less if we get promoted or if we don't then it might be money that needs to be made back. No silver linings until he drops some of the dead wood. Need to look at the loan market.

    Benitez on why Newcastle United recalled Sammy Ameobi:

    “He has done well with Bolton. He is a player that can play in the wide areas.
    We’ll bring him back and see if he is fine and can give us something. We have players going to the African Cup of Nations.
    We have to be sure we have some players. If he’d doing well why not?"

    Just shows how **** our wingers (Ritchie aside) that we need to call back him.

    At least you are coming to realise your success depends more on a little fat Englishman than a little fat Spaniard

    I'm still not sure Ashley even pays attention to what's going on these days. Has he been to any games this season?

    Started a couple of times and was poor. Has done well when he comes off the bench, too inconsistent.

    I wouldn't exclude Ritchie actually. Runs around in circles and contributes little. But he'd be better if he had someone to help him out. Whats there at the moment I wouldn't have in the reserves and NOT just Colback

    I think you are mixed up. Rafa has signed you as a goalkeeper due to your wide area. He believes it will be near impossible to score.

    He's a big fan of the NHL and took the idea from there apparently.

    Anything to help the team.<ok>
    Although football goals are bigger so I'd better start bulking up. There goes new year diet. Oh well.
